posting photos of non-natives wearing costume warbonnets promotes racism.

These kind of photos reduces an entire race into a culture; thus dehumanizing that race. Native American is not a costume; it is an ethnicity made up of hundreds of nations, very few of which practiced the use of warbonnets. The nations that used warbonnets have advocated that they do not want non-natives who haven’t earned the warbonnet to wear them. You are perpetuating racist stereotypes and offending the nations by mocking their sacred items.

This isn’t racist at all, I didn’t do anything that could be considered racist and I’m not stereo typing or mocking Native American’s by tagging it as a Native American headdress that’s what it is, in no way did I make fun of them or their heritage. Also before you go and rant at someone you don’t know anything about you should really think about what you say. I actually am Native American obviously I’m not full native. So next time you decide to verbally attack someone by calling them racist when they did nothing racist you should consider the possibility they actually know what they;re doing/talking about.

It does not matter if you have Native blood; which I seriously doubt because that is literally what every hipster who gets called out says. Having a drop of Native blood (or even a large amount of Native blood) would not exempt you from your racist behavior.

This photo promotes racism and dehumanizes Native Americans.

What nation are you from? Do you know which nations you are disrespecting and mocking? Why do you think it is okay to mock a sacred item?

Look i’m getting real sick of your shit. In no way does drawing a headdress on my picture “dehumanizes” Native Americans. Also I’m not a hipster you need to get over yourself because you’re just acting like an idiot I didn’t do anything racist and i’m not mocking them by drawing one. I respect Native Americans and I have no reason not to beside you.

You didn’t answer any of my questions which proves how ignorant you are. I am getting tired of your racist shit. Delete the photo. It is not okay for you to promote racism and be disrespectful of the Native nations that used the warbonnets.

Lol you’re so full of shit how many times do I have to tell you I’M NOT FUCKING RACIST! You’re just an ignorant fuck who thinks they’re better and smarter than everyone else you don’t know shit. You’re pathetic trying to “call me out” on being racist when I’ve said I respect the people and their heritage. The only way this picture could be racist is if I was intentionally making fun of the heritage which I have stated many times you fucking idiot I’M NOT!

You are dehumanizing my race by turning us into a costume. Your actions show your racism. If you aren’t racist, prove it; delete the photo.

Do you know what nations you are mocking and stereotyping and what nation are you “from”?

Haha i bet you’re not even Native American you’re just an attention whore trying to make this about you and “you’re race” talking about it as if it belongs to you. You’re the most ignorant person i’ve ever had the displeasure of talking to. I’m not going to delete this photo because it’s not racist. So shut the fuck up and stop commenting on my pictures.

Instead of trying to identity-police me how about you answer at least one of my questions, and take responsibilities for your actions. I am Native and trying to say I am not Native is an invalid argument. It wouldn’t matter if I am Native or not; you are promoting racism and supporting your own racist behavior.

What nations are you stereotyping?

Which nations used warbonnets?

What nation are you “from”?

Why do you think it is okay to promote racism?
